Mike Milazzo blends folk, blues, rock and bluegrass
music into an original, yet familiar sound. With a
dark resonance in his voice, he sings with an honesty
that feels like home. There is an urgency in his lyrics
and guitar playing that translates into his live
performances, as well as, his new CD "The World Outside".
Mike has, in the past, lent his guitar
playing and singing talents to bands and singer
songwriters such as banjo master, Tom Hanway, "The
Juicemen" -heavy alt. rock, "The U.S. Hairforce"
-angular art rock, "Dweller"-rock and roll, "The
Boardlords" -skate punk to which he is still an active member, and "Meg Griffin's
Trainwreck" featuring pedal steel legend Buddy Cage.
Mike Milazzo has had the pleasure of being an opening
act for Donovan, Richie Havens, Levon Helm, and Vassar
Clements. Milazzo plays most of the instruments on
his new recording, "The World Outside" himself, with
the exception of drums played by Martin Stroh, and
guest appearances by Meg Griffin- backing vocals, Joe
Meo- clarinet, Stan Hammond- keyboards, and Robin
Gager on violin. The end result is a warm and
powerful collection of songs. Mike can be seen and
heard with his band Broken Arrow on Thursday evenings at The Sundown Saloon, in
Greenwich, Ct. also he can be seen solo every Tuesday at Penny's open mike at the under St.Marks theater in NYC and around the Tri-state area.
His new CD "The World Outside" is out now
on Mighty-Quinn records.Contact Mike Milazzo
